We didn't have any real traditions for St. Patty's Day growing up, but my new one will be to make these Thin Mint Truffles! They are AMAZING!

Patty says:
No family traditions; although we will be starting one this year! Our little guy is 10 months and I'm looking forward to the St. Patrick's Day celebration. We'll be wearing green (of course) and making those cool green pancakes. I am going to try to do the shamrock rice krispie treats, but my kitchen doesn't like when I cook with marshmallows. They may turn out to be egg-shaped. Thanks for sharing this list!
Heather says:
Rice Krispie treats really can be hard to deal with sometimes, can't they?? No matter how many times I make them I'm always surprised how sticky the mix is when it's hot!
Debra says:
I love the green food and will be making #4! Your blog is a favorite of mine!
Heather says:
Thank you Debra! I really appreciate that! : D

Anna says:
My family tradition for St. Patty's day is green milk. Which would go great with the green eggs. I also add green dye to the toilet water and tell my kids the leperchan had to use the bathroom before he left our house. LOL.
Heather says:
Green milk is a family tradition for us, too! The whole green toilet water idea is definitely new (as far as I know) - and spreading like crazy thanks to Pinterest! ; )
Patty says:
We put green coloring in EVERYTHING! Mac and Cheese, Chocolate milk, etc.!
Sarah says:
This is the first time I'll be home with my daughter on St. Patrick's Day morning (I work full-time and go to school full-time) and I'm so excited to make all things green for her! Thanks for the ideas!
Heather says:
Hi Sarah! You're very welcome! I hope you and your daughter have a great day together! : )
